Honda released the Express to the North American market from 1977 until 1983. It entered the market following the 1973 oil crisis. The vintage scooter is famous for its simple operation and fuel-efficient single-cylinder engine. Many of today’s Express owners wish to enhance the speed or performance of their humble machine. They find the applicable aftermarket and genuine Honda Express parts online. Here are three top mods to help you increase your scooter’s power and performance.

Carburettors

If you’re interested in increasing your scooter’s performance and reducing your carbon footprint, a new carburettor may help. Today’s carburettors are more efficient since they typically run on fuel-injection systems. These systems use less fuel and emit less pollution. For example, the Mikuni Round Slide VM Series 2-Stroke Carburetor features a range of tuning components that allow precise fuel mixture metering no matter your throttle setting or riding conditions. Bike shop retailers sell aftermarket carburettors from a variety of brands at a range of affordable prices, leaving you more money to shop for motorcycle riding gear on sale!

Piston Rings

Piston damage or wear results in an overall loss of power. If one piston is bad, it’s likely the others are too. Often, overheated rings cause piston damage. Have you noticed weak acceleration when you’re riding your Honda Express? A piston with worn rings can cause the oil to leak into the combustion chamber and compromise your engine’s power due to decreased compression. Other telltale signs of worn rings include thick grey and white exhaust smoke and extra oil consumption. Honda sells the original parts you need to restore your scooter to its original performance level, from pistons to rings and pins. When you shop OEM parts, retailers usually sell the detailed schematic diagram to help you with your repair or restoration job.

Shocks

If you’ve had your Honda Express since it came off the factory floor or if you inherited a pre-loved model, chances are it’s past due for new shocks. Signs of worn-out shocks including the bike bouncing while you’re braking, the front end diving or the rear end squatting, and metal-on-metal knocking or tire cupping. This cupping noise is due to the tire tread’s wear or variation patterns. Invest in OEM or aftermarket shock absorbers and seat springs to remedy these problems. Not only do new shocks give you a smoother ride, but they also help your scooter brake, and corner like it was new. Once you’ve identified the components you need to make your modifications, you may want to browse motorcycle helmets so that you’re ready for action on your new and improved machine!

While carburettors, piston rings and shocks can all add up to increased power and performance for your Honda Express, there’s a world of mods to choose from. No matter your vision for upgrading your machine, you can find what you need to realise it! Browse bike shops online today for the OEM and aftermarket parts and accessories you need and for motorcycle riding gear on sale. You’ll discover fantastic inventories, brand ranges and prices, and enjoy fast shipping.
